And here we go ...


Hello everyone,

I just wanted to write a quick update on the last week! I have officially started my position at FXW and could not be more excited. These past few days have been filled with so much emotion and as I sit here tonight writing this (exhausted and with very sore feet haha) I can truly say that the career highs and lows of the last nearly 2 years have been all worth it.

A quick highlight was an amazing all day PD on the Mind Up curriculum. It was truly life changing and it is all about the social emotional component of our curriculum, teaching to the heart of a child. 2 parts of the curriculum are about positive psychology and gratitude. I am literally being required to teach things that most teachers only dream about! I don’t know how this happened but I am truly thankful that it did!

My co-teacher has been phenomenal. She is such a great balance for me and I have already learned so much from her. I am beyond excited for our adventures to start this year! We had our Parent Night last night and got to meet many of our little friends today and all I can is say is … SCRUMPTIOUS!!!

Well, that is about all I can say at this moment because my eyes are quickly becoming heavy!  But I will end with this Kafka quote that I feel sums up so much ahaha… "There are some things one can only achieve by a deliberate leap in the opposite direction."

 
Best Wishes,
Kate
